In Cars: Race-O-Rama, players get to race against new characters through action-packed tracks to win the Race-O-Rama trophy as their own personalised Lightning McQueen. Join Lightning McQueen in Radiator Springs as he prepares his academy of student racers for the Race-O-Rama exhibition against Chick Hicks', who has his own set of student racers that do not often compete fairly! Players will immerse themselves in a racing adventure taking them from the sandy beaches, to the metro cities and off to the Baja desert. Along the way, players are upgrading their abilities and customising their look for the ultimate race and the chance to win the Race-O-Rama trophy. Let the race begin!
